in the sound of swallows

Chapter 62

Shen Guiya came back full of joy, and saw the solemnity in the mansion.

"Young Madam, the master is in the hall, please come over." A maid came up to salute.

Shen Guiya asked curiously: "What happened?"

The maid looked around and whispered, "The fourth young lady said that Mrs. Lin had put arsenic in the meal of the fourth young master. Mrs. Lin had fled in fear of crime, and only Mr. Tian was detained in the hall. The prime minister was furious and told everyone to hurry up." past."

With a jump in her heart, Shen Guiya quickly grabbed the maid's arm: "Where is the fourth young master? Are you all right?"

"The fourth young master didn't use those meals, so he's fine."

That's good, Shen Guiya patted her heart, and hurriedly carried her skirt to the main hall.

"The majestic prime minister's mansion, a servant of more than ten years, can do such a thing!" Gu Chengxiang slapped the table and roared: "Today is Bei'er, next time it will be the old man's turn?"

People from the four yards in the southeast, northwest and north were all there, and they all dared not make a sound.Shen Guiyan stood next to Prime Minister Gu with a serious expression.

Seeing Shen Guiya stepping in, Shen Guiyan raised her eyes and glanced at her, her eyes were like ice scum in her mouth, which shocked Shen Guiya.

Why are you looking at her like that?Shen Guiya patted her heart, and stood where Gu Chaodong was.

Prime Minister Gu just glanced at her, and then continued to interrogate the next Master Tian: "You and Mrs. Lin are husband and wife, what can you explain now?"

"Your servant doesn't know anything." Master Tian kowtowed with grievance on his face, "Master Mingjian, that woman is arguing with this servant recently. What she does has nothing to do with this servant!"

Shen Guiyan raised her eyelids lightly, stood up and said, "Eunuch Mingjian, Guiyan has asked Baoshan to bring all the slaves in the backyard of the kitchen. Master Tian said how his relationship with Aunt Lin is recently. Father-in-law might as well listen to it." A word."

Master Tian was taken aback, he really didn't expect that Shen Guiyan not only arrested him to the main hall, but also brought all the servants in the kitchen.How did she know that she would deny it?
"Bring it up." Gu Cheng agreed.

Two servant girls and two house servants came out and knelt down, trembling with fright. The first servant girl hurriedly said without waiting for Prime Minister Gu to ask again: "Master Tian and Mrs. Lin haven't had any quarrel recently. They are doing well. In the morning At that time, Aunt Lin also stuffed silver coins into Master Tian, ​​and the slaves accidentally saw it, and it was a big bag."

Master Tian's face turned pale, his mouth moved, and he remained silent.

"What a big bag of money?" Prime Minister Gu snorted coldly, "Where did you get it?"

Master Tian kept his head silent.

"Do you know that the contract of sale between you and Mrs. Lin is in the hands of the prime minister?" Prime Minister Gu said coldly, "Ms. Lin escaped from the mansion without permission. The old man sent someone to arrest him and kill him on the spot."

Master Tian trembled, and quickly kowtowed: "Master, please forgive me, the younger ones, the younger ones will recruit anything. The money was brought back by the mother-in-law, and she said it was rewarded by the young master. As for why the reward is given, the younger one does not know. Why is the mother-in-law?" I'm going to put arsenic on it, the little one doesn't know!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the room.

Prime Minister Gu's face was ashen, he paused for a moment, then got up, picked up the teacup on the side, and smashed it on Master Tian's head.

"Bah!" With a sound, the teacup shattered.Master Tian rolled his eyes and passed out.

Shen Guiyan was taken aback, and the other female relatives in the room subconsciously took a step back.

"Nonsense!" Prime Minister Gu said angrily, "Drag this bastard out of here!"

"Yes!" The butler agreed, and quickly asked the servant to drag him.

"Elder-in-law!" Shen Guiyan frowned and stepped forward, how could this man be knocked out like this?He has already said that he is the young master...

Prime Minister Gu looked back at her, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and Shen Guiyan was so frightened that he swallowed all the remaining words.

Gu Chaodong came out and knelt down: "Father Mingjian, today there is a villain who slandered his son. If the son is innocent, he will be innocent. I only hope that the father will find out about this matter."

The tone is frank and honest.Shen Guiya who was next to him thought for a while and then came out and knelt down: "Father-in-law is aware, Xianggong has been in a bad mood recently and is bored in the yard, and he hasn't left for half a step. How can there be a chance to bribe Aunt Lin to poison the fourth young master?"

Shen Guiyan took a step back, and retreated to Gu Chaobei who had not said a word.Gu Chaobei was still trimming his nails with a file, no matter how noisy the house was, he didn't even look up.

"Of course I know right or wrong." Prime Minister Gu glanced at Gu Chaodong, and said, "Send someone to arrest Aunt Lin, and when she is brought back, she will be sent to prison together with Master Tian, ​​and she will be punished as murder."

"Yes!" Butler Gu responded and went out.

Peace was restored in the hall, Prime Minister Gu glanced at Shen Guiyan, pursed his lips and said, "Yan'er Beier, you two come with me to the study."

"Yes." Shen Guiyan bowed her knees.

Master Tian was dragged down like this, Shen Guiyan glanced at him unwillingly, he had clearly told the truth, why didn't Prime Minister Gu listen?
"Little fool." On the way to the study, Gu Chaobei softly whispered in her ear: "Do you think that there is justice in this world, and even if the murderer is found out, he can be brought to justice?"

Shen Guiyan was taken aback.

"Even relatives, there are relatives." Gu Chaobei glanced at her and said with a low smile, "Don't be angry with yourself, don't talk back to what the old man says later, just agree."

Staring at Prime Minister Gu's back in a daze, Shen Guiyan didn't understand.Didn't everyone say that Prime Minister Gu also loves his youngest son?Now that someone is going to murder Gu Chaobei, is it possible that he can pretend that this incident never happened just because the murderer is his other son?

Looking sideways at Gu Chaobei's face, he had a mocking smile on his face, as if he had fully guessed what Prime Minister Gu would say next.

"Yan'er, I know you love Bei'er." Chengxiang Gu went to the study and sat down, looked up at Shen Guiyan who was standing below and said: "But for today's matter, just be careful in the future, don't continue Pursue."

"Why?!" Shen Guiyan opened her eyes wide, forgot Gu Chaobei's advice for a moment, and felt the fire rushing upwards in her heart: "Chaobei is also your biological son, if it weren't for Yan'er's sharp eyes today If you see it, he will be killed!"

Didn't pursue it?At the beginning of Aunt Qin's death, my father also said that he would not pursue it. These people knew who the murderer was, and they wanted to let him go unpunished.Shen Guiyan couldn't calm down, she had never been able to get out of Aunt Qin's death, so this time Shen Shiqing's official seal was confiscated, she didn't want to help at all.

So what if it's your own father?He watched her biological mother being murdered to death, no matter if he didn't save her, but he didn't give him justice!
But now, Prime Minister Gu, whom she had always respected, actually said something similar to Shen Shiqing.
